The process of perceiving, of finding out how things are, is a process of meeting the world; it is an activity of skillful exploration.

And it too can be activated only through bombardment, in its case love's bombardment

But if you are JOYFUL and DETERMINED TO PERFORM POSITIVE ACTIONS, then as a result, you discover and learn many new things that you didn't know about before.
